It's February again, so it's time for a short month of red and pink bicycles.
I had one of those pink-gray Motobécane Le Champion bikes long ago. And I had it repainted gun-metal gray! I don't have pictures of it, before or after.

Still wearing its original "candy apple" red, and fading to silver undercoat in places. Still a wonderful old French touring machine.

1993 Longstaff trike
Not a bike, but red, and in middle of the fade (1993!) it's sort of pink: My 1993 George Longstaff barrow:

Well, I guess first is this beautiful Giordana Polaris.
Then there's this Pinkish, Reddish Davidson Impulse.

I got this Trek 400T last fall at the former Memory Lane swap meet. The paint was in really good condition, needing only a few chips touched up. I swapped the drivetrain because i wanted to put a triple on my LeTour. I like how the Tri color looks on the red frame.
